hey guys , i need help i have a dang 545 cartridge stuck in my jp 223. it is stuck in the chamber, not all the way in battery. It's a live round. I am at a Viking Tactics Night Fighters class, and in the dark i picked up one of these devils. I have tried a cleaning rod, nothing is working, HELP.

Fill the barrel with motor oil up to the muzzle

wad several patches totether or use a piece of rag packed into the muzzle
The use short piece of cleaning rod ...and drive it into the barrel with a small hammer
The rag should seal the barrel..and the hydraulic pressure will push the round out.

Will the motor oil migrate into the gas tube?

Yes it will if you fill past the gas port
Carb cleaner or gun scrubber will clean it out

Hey, those little love taps your doing on the cleaning rod ain't gonna cut it!!!! Call me. I have a solid brass rod if you want to swing by the house and pick it up.

Sorry to hear your tale, I had somthing similar thing happen to my JP at Benning last year when a mate snuck a .222 round into my magazine...... he claimed it was an accident.....

They do jam in there pretty good !!

[kurtm]

OK...well then I guess you don't want me to bring you any ammo this year. Good by me. KurtM

Pull the upper and stick it in the freezer. Let is get good and cold, and I mean really frozen, then go back at it with the cleaning rod. I removed one this way, after it was fully cold I basically just dropped the cleaning rod down the barrel and the round jumped right out.

[mike.45]

Yes but .223 ammo pretty please

We have some new very accurate ammo for your 223 this year Mikey, they call them wadcutters, you load the flat base bullet in backwards and it cuts better holes in teh paper

Cheers
